[IP] Interesting interaction with Windows OneCare Live
A blogification of Dave Farber’s Interesting People mailing list
Friday, June 23, 2006
From a forwarded message to Dave Farber:
I called Microsoft support to see if there is a hidden option to say,
“yep, I’ve got updates turned to manual… it’s okay.” The rep said,
“No and why wouldn’t you want to get the latest updates to Windows.”
He told me that “in the fall, having the latest WGA will become
mandatory and if its not installed, Windows will give a 30 day
warning and when the 30 days is up and WGA isn’t installed, Windows
will stop working, so you might as well install WGA now.”

Misperceptions about WGA

With all of the recent interest in WGA over the past month, I wanted to take a moment to clarify a few of the misperceptions out there and hopefully bring some clarity about what the program is intended to do.
